I need love, love to ease my mind and I need to find time, someone to call mine. My Mama said:

You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait. She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take. You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait. Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.

How many heartaches must I stand, before I find the love to let me live again.Right now the only thing, that keeps me hangin' on,when I feel my strenghth, oh it's almost gone, I remember Mama said:

You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait. She said: Love don't come easy, it's a game of give and take. How long must I wait? How much more must I take, before loneliness will 'cause my heart, heart to break?

No I can't bear to live my life alone.I grow impatient for a love to call my own.But when I feel that I, I can't go on.Well these Precious words keep me hangin' on, I remember Mama said:

You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait. She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take. You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait. Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes. Now break!

Now love, love don't come easy, but I keep on waiting, anticipating for that soft voice to talk to me at night, for some tender arms to hold me tight.I keep waiting, oh 'til that day, but it ain't easy, no, you know it ain't easy.My Mama said:

You can't hurry love. No you just have to wait. She said: Love don't come easy, but it's a game of give and take. You can't hurry love. No you'll just have to wait. Just trust on a good time, no matter how long it takes.
